The world as we know it ended 209 years ago. From a desert wasteland springs a single kingdom, ruled by a tyrannical King and trapped in an endless war against the shadowy desert warriors. As a desperate bid to save what remains of humanity, society has been split into two distinct classes, nicknamed the Court and the Commons. For an oppressed population on the brink of revolution, a common thief could be the last hope. Up until now, Kay has survived by her wits alone. Reckless and impulsive, wanted by the King's guard, Kay has become known as the Runner. Using the city's rooftops as her personal domain, she manages to keep one step ahead of the King with one hand buried in the purses of the courtiers. Driven by the plight of the commoners and the unjust death of her family, Kay seizes the chance to graduate from small-time thievery to full-scale rebellion. Her opportunity comes in the form of Will, a wealthy ex-soldier with a dark past. Plucked from the streets and thrown into the shimmering palace court, Kay must use her every strength to blend into a world where she doesn't belong, closer to the enemy than she ever thought she would be.

Aangename kennis, my naam is Katarina Wilemien van der Merwe. Noemnaam: Miems. Ek het blonde hare en blou oë. Ek woon in 'n baie klein dorpie genaamd Botaville waar almal hulle neuse in mekaar se sake druk. As jong kind het ek altyd aandagtig geluister na my grootouers se staaltjies en het ek altyd gedroom dat ek groot geword het in hulle era. Die lewe het soveel beter geklink tydens daardie jare, maar ongelukkig is ek gebore tydens 'n era waar tegnologie, pryse en taal gebruik drastiese veranderinge ondergaan het. Ek wou nog altyd saam my kêrel opgesit het en ek wou verskriklik graag grootgeword het op 'n plaas soos in die ou dae, min het ek geweet dat hierdie era ook opwindend kon wees. Tydens die jaar 2008, het my lewe 'n bollemakiesie gemaak en alles het verander. Dit was alles sy skuld. Hy het my onskuld van my af weggeneem en hy het my gewys wat liefde eintlik is maar tog sal ek altyd dankbaar wees dat hy deel vorm van my lewensverhaal. Maar soos alles anders, het daardie deel van my lewe ook tot 'n einde gekom... Wat is beter? Hy in my lewe of hy uit my lewe? Wat is beter?
